A sad day indeed

[QTG]

If those boys could talk, there would be some stories. Now they're gone forever. On trucks! :{

[Rigga]

Sad indeed - they were parked outside my office for almost a year before I left.

Perhaps you and some others in your office should get writing a book QTG?

Is that G-BUXS going in the bin at last?

[QTG]

How dare you sir? You're talking about the woman I love!

Well, one of them.

That is ex-NLB G-BUXS ��

Sad indeed, but it's good to recall the happy days of ManAv. It was fun and I recall so much pleasure and very little else.

Here's to David! Chinchin.

I "knew" her before she went to the Lighthouses.

[QTG]

G-BUXS, G-NDAA and G-CDBS. The last three.

[md 600 driver]

where have they gone too?

[TeeS]

Hi QTG
I do believe I can claim the first flights on GBUXS after she came out of Rotortech - Oct 7th 1994. She stood in at Cosford for a couple of weeks while we were waiting for GWMAA which replaced GBTHV.

Was that after she was stretched?

[TeeS]

Hi Cyclic
Yep, I can't remember the donor aircraft registration, I think it may have been a PAS machine. Stretching may be a slight misnomer since the 'stretch' was produced by a brand new airframe.

You should take a look in A2B's hangar at Oxford, folks - I thought I would never again see BATC, TVAM or WAAS but there they are, large as life :) It appears there are plans for them to make yet another trip down south, too.

Please forgive my yank ignorance, but...are those machines really headed for the shredder? :sad:

These ex Bond 105s have been sold to the US and shipped out via Southampton (https://www.facebook.com/sanjuanaviation/) and given the "call us for your parts requirements", it looks like it they are to be parted out

[ScotiaQ]

Yep, I can't remember the donor aircraft registration

The donor registration was G-AZTI S/No. 41. Just for info.

Thanks SQ - my memory is fading!
